Abstract [eng] Complex and dynamic environment requires firms to adapt a range of changes to meet altering customers’ demands and still remain competitive and constantly increase firm performance. This dissertation builds on theoretical approach of organizational ambidexterity, which means organization’s ability to manage dual and usually competing activities simultaneously, and argues that today organizational ambidexterity becomes crucial in the context of today’s change-driven markets. This study responds existing scientific recommendations to accept inter-organizational collaboration as one of the possible stimulators for organizational ambidexterity. The dissertation contributes by providing theoretical and empirical evidence for the positive relationship between organizational ambidexterity and inter-organizational collaboration, thus leading to better performance results. Inter-organizational collaboration with research institutions and inter-organizational collaboration in international and professional networks are explored separately, presuming that different forms of inter-organizational collaboration can lead to different outcomes for research objects. The proposed multidimensional conceptual model is based on several conceptual components and subcomponents. This helped to build new theoretical and practical approaches within the field. The model itself can be used as effective practical tool for firms for developing organizational ambidexterity as well.
